The Metal Muses

In the Eyes of Wu-Min

Dear Samantha,

Once the firey battle was over much of the surrounding forest was torched. We also lost our Druid friend which was unfortunate, but we made some new Pixy friends who were held captive by the smelly wolf people. They said they could take us to their king so off we went. The king of the forest was a giant tree man, not what I was expecting. He gave some useful information and pointed us generally in the proper direction, but didn’t know exactly where the library was or how to enter. We set off again and end the day next to a pretty waterfall and set up camp. Mack instantly falls asleep exhausted by today’s trials. The rest of us notice visitors approaching. It’s another group of elven scouts, but they are from a different town than the one we were at earlier. New Elves were also investigating the dying forest situation.
“We should go all the way!” I suggest of the library
With the New elves in agreement, we team up!

Dear Samantha,

This trip into the forest was exciting, and also… destructive. Not far into our task do we meet a dirty looking magic fellow.
“Hello, I am a druid! I love trees and nature and want to save the forest!”
“Oh, what a coincidence” I say, “We also wish to save the forest and find a magic library”
“Excellent!” He beams, “I can tell you folks come from a good stock, so I will join you on your quest. I have a good feeling about this!”
A short time later we hear cries of help, and upon investigating our group is ambushed by smelly wolf people and flaming dogs. The dogs bite very hard and once they began attacking me, Mack went into a fit of rage. In fact, he was so upset by their bitey antics that he burst into fire, which began to spread around us.

Dear Samantha,

Our next objective is to seek out a special library so now we are in a far-away forest, which appears to be dying. Also, we have a new addition to our group. He doesn’t say much and often hides from sight, most likely due to my outstanding beauty, but has demonstrated useful abilities & information. We are lead into an encampment of elves, who supply us for our task of seeking the library and restoring the forest. Two guides accompany us; Handsome & Handsomer and we head off into the woods!

Dear Samantha,

Bad news, Rainbows was critically wounded at the battle with the shadow demons last night, and we almost died at least three times. The good news is we found the messenger of Wycloth, defeated the shadow demons, and now I am magnificent!

Dear Samantha,

We followed the resistance recommendations and magic feelings from Apollos for our second attempt at the mountains. The old temple appeared in disrepair with cobwebs, dust, and cracked mosaic tiles. I’m not a building builder, but whoever built this building built it strangely. After exploring for a while suddenly we were attacked by gargoyles! I gave one a talking to with my fists then he cooperated quite nicely.
“Greetings, my name is Rainbows. I can help you on your quest and possibly answer all your questions.”
“Oh thank you Rainbows.” I reply
“There are shadow demons around. They often possess my people and like the dark.”
“They sound very dangerous, we should try to avoid them.”

Dear Samantha,

It turns out we are in one of the Shet’zen capitals! After Heylan’s tragic death, we flee into the city. We get surrounded then suddenly a secret underground entrance appears and we hurry inside. Apparently there’s some sort of resistance forming and we were offered shelter.
“Hello, my name is Mack and that’s a really pretty lady you got there, but I can tell that she’s also very intelligent.”
They gave us all magic medallions which lets us travel through the Shet’zen barriers and also let us communicate.

Dear Samantha,

When Apollos used the mystery powder it transported us into a central chamber. We begin to hear Shet’zen on the other side of the door. Someone cleverly decides to throw the mystery powder at the Shet’zen once we are in the hallway leaving them trapped in the circular room. Eventually the hallway leads to a sequence of spiraling stairs. We can hear more Shet’zen coming after us as we continue to flee upwards. After a few wrong turns we end up outside on a ledge. The ever handsome farm warrior Heylan took a stand against our pursuers with confidence while the rest of us made it down to safety.
“I sacrifice myself for you Wu-min!” he shouts while falling to his death. “I am sorry that I won’t be able to live out my life with you on my farm, but take care of Sparkles!”

Dear Samantha,

Hec’torin, upset about our recent hardships, began to express some doubt about our objective and his own purpose.
“Don’t give up Hec’torin!” I exclaimed. “You may not have known your father, but my parents were bards! I don’t even know what happened to them or my brother, and if you think your wings are strange, check out this birthmark I’ve never shown you!”
“Oh Wu-min, I didn’t realize what a strong person you actually were, and not just physically but also emotionally. I am so fortunate to have you as my party companion.”
As we were offering reassurances, Shet’zen appeared! It was a long battle, but we finally prevailed. Upon inspecting their chiseled bodies, Apollos suddenly disappeared. When he didn’t return within some time we too inspected the powder found on the Shet’zen body. The powder teleported us into a circular room. Apollos appears unharmed, but now we do not know where we are.

Dear Samantha,

It was such a horrible day. After the encounter with the Shet’zen we reconsolidated what was left of our caravan. We headed on and found a little village. The place had been ransacked. Vrax’s body was also found (he was dead). It put a damper on everything.

“This is so depressing, I can’t even think about how attractive Wu-Min is” Apollos sulked. “Let’s go try to find more of those places I dream about”

Dear Samantha,

We took all the wagons. I guess we figured more was more, so we all caravanned our way through the forest. I of course stayed with Sparkles in the back. I started hearing all this commotion coming from the front of the party. Apollos starting yelling something about a “lot of going homes”, and “they are slacking brusk.” I think Hylan’s death had been very upsetting for him, since he was clearly speaking nonsense! Suddenly two ugly children appeared on both sides of Sparkles’ and my wagon. They hissed about us being too attractive, so I silenced them with my shuriken. I left the wagon to check on my comrades and see why we had stopped. More ugly gnome things were around messing up the wagons. A shet’zen emerged from the woods and started chasing Vrax. There was some fire and hammer swinging, but somehow Vrax got bagged. I chased his captor, but to no avail. I had told Sparkles to run for it earlier, so hopefully they’re at least safe. Priorities.
